3GB of DDR2 memory

Windows Vista Home Premium

It's $880 and my pops is going 1/2 with me, for my christmas gift (But we getting it now).It comes with ahorrible graphics card, but at the moment i have no PC (mine took a s***, so im on friends PC), so i was thinking about just getting this, and than picking up a 8800gts or whatever when theprice comes down a little. So for me...with the graphics card, it's only gonna run me like $700-$800...is this a good buy? I read a few reviews, and the only complaint is a lack of any extra PCI slots, but is this a problem? what are PCI slots used for? sorry for my noobness. I heard people telling me i could buy a good PC cheaper, but I'm just too computer illiterate to do it (not to mention, i saw that processor and motherboard on tigerdirect for $500-$600 alone)

Comes with a 250 or maybe 300 wtt. psu. You're gonna need to upgrade that.rgsniper1

couldnt find specs, but i read review that yea it's 300W, and some1 said he updated to a 700W, which i'll do if necessary...other than that, it's a decent setup? and as far as tv tuners go, dont they come with graphics cards? again excuse my noobness, but a tv tuner isnt really a selling point for me, it would just be nice to haveEman810

I suppose there's some tv tuners that are bundled or build into graphics cards like the all in wonders. But in general, no they aren't. Most are seperate daughter cards that take up there own slot.

oh alright...well nevermind that, cause i plan on getting a fairly decent videocard...as far as the powersupply goes, thanks for the link, 450W should be plenty sufficient, if i were to get a 8800gts card?

EDIT: I do have a TV in my room, but it's only 17" (I think...2" smaller than PC monitor) and it's just a standard TV....but as mentioned before, it's not necessarily a selling point, if the setup is otherwise decent....it's also important to note that I got my eyes set on getting a PC from Circuit City, as i also have a couple hundred in gift cards accumulated over the past few years
